That was regarding him wanting to be here, which has been mentioned in a few various places, but isn't that big a deal and I've no need to be 'biased' over that particular aspect. This was also on Monday. Since then I have warmed more and more to the idea of him being manager, I think he's the right fit. If it's not him I'll go with it and back the new man, home and away. There's nothing unusual there. I've no idea what your point is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcowans21 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Hmmm, seems to be a bit of a move on Sean Dyche , down to 10/1 (was around 25/1 earlier) on Paddy Power, and 2/1 on Betfair Exchange. Interesting.... According to the Daily Mail earlier in the week, he was in the 3 man list. Edited October 7, 2016 by sidcowans21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Bruce v Dyche, I'd probably take Dyche over Douche* *nb. If he gets the job, he's no longer a douche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Meh, Bruce would be the obvious choice. Not the worst choice, but it's a safe option, he's got a solid CV. Will get us up in the Premier League I reckon. But I still want David Wagner long term.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way out of left field but is a very good coach and man manager..... I oppose this. He is doing a very good job with the Australian team at the moment. Maybe in the future, but not now.

Grasshopper Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 34 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Another questions for you to think about. Did JG spend more money than Brian Little? If so why didn't we improve on what Little created? Leave it at that because gone off topic. The main reason JG hit his ceiling after a couple years was that he realised the Villa 3-5-2 (BL->JG) wasnt a formation that could compete with ManU, Arsenal, (Blackburn & Toon) He famously went to 4-4-2 against Sunderland away and lost 2-1 whilst playing great and dominating the game only to be undone very easily. he went back to 3-5-2 lost confidence & momentum then moaned about wanting 2 more players all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Ok I've done a more research than I should've bothered with but I think these are Bruce's top 20 signings by fee: 1 Asamoah Gyan £13,600,000 2 Michael Turner £11,560,000 3 Darren Bent £10,300,000 4 Abel Hernández £10,200,000 5 Emile Heskey* £7,920,000 6 Shane Long £7,230,000 7 David Dunn £7,010,000 8 Nikica Jelavic £6,630,000 9 Emile Heskey* £6,380,000 10 Robert Snodgrass £6,380,000 11 Lee Cattermole £5,950,000 12 Stéphane Sessègnon £5,950,000 13 Jake Livermore £5,950,000 14 Jason Koumas £5,870,000 15 Charles N'Zogbia £5,440,000 16 Clinton Morrison £5,420,000 17 Gary McSheffrey £5,100,000 18 Lorik Cana £4,930,000 19 Tom Huddlestone £4,930,000 20 Moses Odubajo £4,250,000 (*signed for Birmingham, and Wigan.)

Will always love the villa and will follow them with as much passion and pride as before. Just don't waste my time and money on watching a Steve Bruce villa team. Simple as! I really hope he is a success and I get these words rammed down my throat next season, but I have a personal long held dislike for the man,. Just because he will villa manager won't change that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
